Testimonials | Angela Eckles

Several years ago I had a chronic pain in my hip, which became so debilitating that I walked with a limp. I am a dance tutor and after working all day, because of the pain, it could take me up to five minutes to get out of my car. Angela was recommended to me by a friend and although a little sceptical at the thought of Spinal Touch, I was at the point where I would have tried anything. I call my first visit a miracle. I hobbled into the therapy room and almost skipped out. It was the first time for months I was completely pain free. The experience left me feeling totally enriched.

I have also visited Angela with Tennis Elbow, which my doctor insisted could only be cured with a hydrocortisone injection. Needless to say Angela cured my elbow and I have had no reoccurrence of the injury. Spinal Touch is a non-invasive, thoroughly relaxing, gentle healing process, which leaves the whole body feeling refreshed and rejuvenated. It is definitely worth a visit, whatever the problem - Trudie

I first discovered Angela in 1997 as a practitioner and teacher of Spinal Touch Therapy. In working with me, she bases her practice on Spinal Touch, but she has a wealth of other skills that she brings to bear during a treatment as needed. She has a keen eye for any postural issue in the body, instantly assessing what is required to bring a body back into alignment. However, her principle asset is her incredible intuition to know just how and where to make contact with a body and to hold it to bring about a release.

Her treatments are deep and the effects on the physical and energetic levels can be felt in the system for at least 24 hours after a treatment, as the body realigns and balances itself. Her touch is always gentle, yet confident, allowing the person receiving the treatment to relax totally and let go. To experience a treatment from Angela is a unique experience and one which I highly recommend. - Simon

I have been seeing Angela for many years after a recommendation from a friend. I am convinced that my general good health and speedy recovery from my occasional ailments has been due to my regular visits, which keep my body aligned and functioning at an optimum level. I am also sure that her homeopathic advice given to my elderly mother-in- law contributed to her successful and quick recovery from a hip replacement operation. - Di

I first visited Angela on the recommendation of a friend, a last resort when all other treatment options had failed. Now, Angela's gentle, non-invasive procedure is my preferred choice. - Stephanie

I was made aware of Angela from a couple of friends at the bowling alley, both who had visited Angela. They said she had cured their back problems after years of suffering.

I had suffered from back problems for many years and especially the last two years. I am a bowler (tenpin) and had hardly bowled during those two years. After my first visit to Angela, I Immediately felt better and have been bowling every week since. I also had a problem with my shoulder which I had had for three months and could not shake off. I mentioned this on my second visit and her treatment has cured it straight away and it hasn't returned. I would recommend Angela to anybody. - Chas

I am pleased to offer this testimonial for Angela Eckles who was my therapist for many years.

I was particularly interested in the Spinal Touch which she offered, after reading an article about the treatment. I had a long standing spinal injury which gave me constant pain and interfered with my day to day functioning for which I had tried other therapies. I had read that the treatment was gentle and painfree. At first I was very tired after each visit but gradually as my daily pain decreased, my mobility and energy increased. Although I had to travel some distance to see Angela, I decided it was worth me going all the way to Guildford from Wiltshire.

Angela gave me plenty of time to explain to her where I was feeling the most pain and difficulty and how it affected my movements and treated me appropriately. At every visit she carefully looked at the position of my spine and the alignment of my muscles and bones. During the time I was with her, I had several complicated and serious surgical operations for other illnesses. These interfered with the angle of my spine, but after I was active again, Angela was able to still give me the treatment I needed to keep me mobile and reduce the pain.

I was impressed with Angela's first class knowledge of anatomyand physiology. she had a sensitive touch and I always knew the treatment would give me relief from pain. I looked forward to the next treatment and was sorry when she had to move away from the area where I could easily reach her. - Margot

I've been having regular treatment sessions with Angela for (insert number!) years now and I always describe her as 'unwinding' all my tension. She's seen me through major surgery and a number of sports related injuries and helps me manage the day to day tensions and stresses of life by gently encouraging my tense muscles and painful tendons to relax and release.

I remember once several years ago, I suddenly started to laugh uncontrollably during a treatment and duly apologised....Angela explained that I was releasing many years worth of tension. And on many occasions Angela has helped a muscle to relax that was previously tense and beyond my ability to release it....it's amazing when you suddenly feel a muscle drop down of its own volition.

Finally - Angela is the only therapist I trust with my back. Her treatments are gentle and non-invasive and if I compare to other treatments I've had in the past, they always leave me feeling more pain-free than I was to start with. I find some practitioners actually hurt which of course prevents me relaxing.

I'd encourage anyone with chronic or severe pain to try a treatment - or anyone who doesn't already have a completely relaxed and perfectly aligned body...which is pretty much everyone I suspect! - Jules
